A Bowl of Stupid

As you may recall, last week the L.A. Times reported that, after years of diligent work by the U.S. government to eradicate drugs, the No. 1 cash crop in America is … wait for it … Marijuana. (via L.A. Times and William K. Wolfrum)

Now the kicker. A study says 94 percent of all euro bank notes currently in Spain have traces of cocaine on them because of their use in drug trafficking. This follows a 2003 survey found that most Euro bank notes in Germany showed similar traces of the narcotic, and a 1999 report in London found that 99 percent of all 5-Pound notes had cocaine traces.

Now I guess the real question for New Years Ever is: “Do I relax here in the U.S. and eat a truckload of Twinkies watching Pink Floyd’s ‘The Wall’ for the 100th time, or do I go to Europe and stay up partying for 3 days straight?”

I know, it’s a conundrum.
